How does it FEEL to understand composition/story telling?

Hello!

I have a been photographing for roughly 6 months now and I would say my most obvious area of improvement is in composition and storytelling. Whats annoying to me is that some weeks I feel like I kinda understand it and some weeks i feel completly lost, like it just dosen’t click for me. In a weird way I can almost get stressed about that I don’t find the compositions that I am convinced are everyehere around me. Its like i have this preconception that if I was a great photographer I would be able to create something interesting out of anything/situation. This may be a harsh take but I also truly belive this about anything art related, from the right perspective (not physical perspective necessarily) anything can be interesting.

For those of you that feel like this part of photography has clicked for you, I have a weird question maybe, but how this FEELS for you. Also if you have a ”method” for finding those captivating moments.

Did you eventually learn to visualize the story/composition before hand and work towards/chase that specific photo?

Or did you get good (and quick enough) that you are ”just there” and realize the story/stories as they unfold in the world around you?

Do you remember when it finally clicked?

As I am writing this I also realize that my way of thinking about this might be flawed. I dont mean that once it clicks there is nothing more to learn, but more like a baseline level of confidence regarding composition.

I shoot mostly nature related stuff but I am interested in photography in general.
